DAY 1: Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to the Derwent Manor for a 4 nights stay dinner, bed and breakfast.
DAY 2: We journey through beautiful countryside to the capital of Coquetdale, Rothbury, this was once a popular health resort where people came to take the air and enjoy its riverside setting of wide open spaces and delightful scenery. From here we head for the magnificent Cragside House. This former home of Lord and Lady Armstrong is now in the care of the National Trust. Cragside was the first house to be lit by electricity - a true wonder of the Victorian age. The house is fascinating and the gardens are spectacular with towering conifers, rocky crags, and waterfalls to explore.
DAY 3: This morning we travel to Morpeth where you can visit its weekly Wednesday market, and explore the historic market town. Later we travel to Wooler to visit Ad Gefrin, a new attraction showcasing life at an Anglo-Saxon Royal Court that was located in Wooler. The immersive museum features a great hall, and original artefacts telling the stories of the people who made up an Anglo-Saxon Royal Court. Following our visit to the museum we enjoy a guided tour and tasting in the distillery where barley strains dating back to the Anglo-Saxon times are used to recreate a heritage whisky of this area.
DAY 4: Our visit today is to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, travelling to the beating heart of the city centre. You can obtain lunch and enjoy the bustling surroundings, with its markets, shopping centres, museums and parks. Perhaps wander along Newcastle Quayside, visit The Discovery Museum or the Great North Museum, see Newcastle Castle, or head to Northumberland Street for some retail therapy.
DAY 5: After breakfast, we leave and begin our journey home.
